Note: the received visa is CR1 rather than k3 Interview experience, see: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=153358 NVC I-130 processing: July 14: I-130 and I29F approved July 26: NVC acknowledges receipt of both I-130 and I-129F July 28: DS-3032 and AOS fee bill generated (although dated 2 days earlier when I received the snail mail) July 29: mailed off $70 AOS fee July 29: email forwarded DS-3032 from wife (snail mail got there first!) July 30: spouse mailed off DS-3032 by express mail (UPS) from Philippines August 4: DS-3032 hard copy received at NVC from Philippines August 4: AOS fee bill received by NVC (although wrong date was on James' short cut generated bill!) August 6: AOS generated August 6: IV bill generated August 6: send off AOS (I-864EZ) lets hope they accept a non-notarized version with IRS tax transcripts for last 3 years rather than actual tax returns! (there's not even any space to notarize an I-864EZ, so it makes no sense to me) August 6: paid IV bill online with invoice # obtained from NVC operator (who also told me the online system doesn't work, so I'll just have to see what happens) August 7: IV bill status is now "paid" and deducted from my bank account August 7: mail off DS-230 + pile of documents + IV payment receipt + bank statement showing deduction August 8: AVR says IV bill generated? (online status changed to "unpaid" although paid receipt is right there online. duh!) August 11: finally they accepted email DS-3032 (hard copy got there one week earlier) August 13: IV received at NVC (they need to be informed again to reconcile online payment with visa application, grrrrrr) August 13: online payment system status changed back to "paid" yippee!!!

Basically, it states that my case has been trxf'd to VSC in order to speed up processing. I had read on the USCIS website that this would happen: The ppwk would stay @ the NVC in MO, but the case would be sent to the SC where my I-130 had originally been submt'd to, in this case, VT. *2007-3-26 Rec'd NOA's for I-129f and I-130 about 1 week apart at the beginning of the month while I was in the Dom Rep visiting my wife, stating that we were approved. I'm pleasantly surprised that the I-130 came through so fast, but it makes me feel like I wasted $$ with the I-129f... Oh well, maybe the K3 petition is why the I-130 was processed so fast; I needed to grea$e the wheels. Now I'm just waiting to hear from the NVC in Portsmouth, NH that they rec'd the packet and are sending it forward to the US Consulate in Santo Domingo. *2007-5-1 I never heard anything from the NVC re: sending out my packet. Only after calling and calling (they always had too heavy call volume and a recording said to call back) did I get some answers. They told me the case # and that they sent it to the US Consulate in DR on 3/2/07. I only know that it was rec'd bc I searched for the case # on the Consular's Appointment Waiting List web page, and Our case was added on 3/7/07. | 2008-12-03 |
